How mr. New was pnralyzea.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Pres bears from an Indiana
man that the report about John C. New
having a stroke OF paralysis in Washington
grew out of poker party. New had been
holding stifr hands and had won couple
hundred dollars when one of the players,
who had stood in on two kings, drew the
other two and cleaned up all the money
that New had won and $500 or 5000 on top
Of 1t. The next morning the story ran
around the hotel that New was paraly2ed
1t was In one sense true.

TO tue seventeenth General Convention
Of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union
Of America before entering upon bust
ness to-day proceeded in body to the
Cathedral to engage in the solemn SER
vices OF high mass. The delegates

were many OF the reverend clergy who
are active members of total abstinence
societies. Archbishop Ryan was the
celebrant of pontiical high mass.
Bishop Moore, OF st. Augustine, Fla,
occupied n seat within the chancel.
The music of the mass was finely rem
dercd, and when all the lights were
ablaze the scene presented was one OF
unusual krilliancy. The sermon was
preached by Rev. James VI. Cleary, of
Kenosha, Wis, president Of the Catho-
lie Total Abstinence Union OF America,
who took the place OF Bishop Ireland,
ofAlinnesota. The latter was unavoid-
ably detained at home, and only at the

out ny the Associated Press OF the eau
dsur-Haulau r.ce which took place
july sd ut Pullman, ILL.,, in which J.
A. st. John was charged with having
ordered Gaudnur to lose, was incorrect
in that particular aud did that gentle
man great injustice. The facts were
that st. John ordered Gaudanr, re-
gardless Of the condition OF the water,
to obey the order Of the referee AMI to
win ii possible. There is no reason to
doubt that this race, ike every other
in which st. john and Gaudaur have
been connected, was rowed strictly on
the merits OF the men. II WAS an error
in judgment on the part OF the referee
to have sent the men out on rough
water and in the gathering darkness.
The oarsmen had no appeal from this
order, and were in no way responsible
for the very unsatisfactory result.

Colonel Mum replied for the de-

that he did not know what he was say
